Synopsis
Alchemy is the science of transforming matter from one form to another. Its primary rule states: you can obtain something only by giving something of equal value in return. Applied in many areas of life, alchemy involves a three-stage process conducted with the aid of a transmutation circle. The first step is the recognition of the substance's structure—analysis; the second is decomposition; the third is recomposition—synthesis. As a result of the transformation process, the substance and parts of an object change their characteristics, but the quantity and properties of the matter are always preserved. Alchemists consume tectonic shift energy for transmutation.
Two young alchemists—the Elric brothers—attempted to bring back to life their mother, who had died of illness. But the transformation process did not end in success, for it is impossible to resurrect the dead even with alchemy. As a result of this mistake, the older brother, Edward, lost his leg, and the younger, Alphonse, lost his entire body. However, at the cost of his own arm, Edward managed to attach his brother's soul to their father's antique knight armor—a father who had long ago left their family. After recovering from his wounds and replacing his limbs with auto-prosthetics, the older brother decides to join the army as a state alchemist, planning to use military resources to find information about the philosopher's stone, which, according to legend, can help them regain their bodies...
Meanwhile, an ambitious colonel, Roy Mustang, also a state alchemist, is transferred to the capital. Having fought the war in the Ishbal district, the young man became disillusioned with his country's government. Indeed, Amestris is a totalitarian, militarized state that is aggressive toward others. But in the capital, the colonel realized that everything was much worse. The country is ruled not even by humans, but by homunculi—artificially created beings who only resemble humans. The entire ruling elite has sold out to them, and they themselves have been fueling military conflicts with neighbors since the same founding of the country. Their goal is to create a transmutation circle from places where blood was shed and perform a process of transmutation over the entire state. The colonel was afraid even to imagine what that would be, but one thing he knew for sure—the homunculi must be discredited and stopped...

NA. All documents pass through Hughes. And nothing stops him from making small changes to them... Redirects the chosen player's NA to a specified target.
Status. Military, does not possess alchemy.

Izumi Curtis
A talented alchemist who lives a quiet and peaceful life in a small town where she runs a butcher shop with her husband.

NA. Natural alchemical talent allows Izumi to easily determine whether a player possesses this science or not.
Status. Civilian, possesses alchemy.
Doctor Knox
